The speed of sound in any medium is directly proportional to the elasticity of the medium. For solids it has a direct relation with the bulk modulus of elasticity. As diamond is one of the hardest solids, its bulk modulus is among the highest.
Compression waves in diamond are not slowed as much because it is so much less compressible than gases, liquids, or less-dense solids.
The speed of sound in diamond is approximately 12,000 meters per second. Diamond is known for its high acoustic velocity due to its strong atomic bonding structure.
A diamond is among the densest natural substances, so vibration waves are not slowed in condensing the medium. Sound waves in solids induce both compression and shear waves.

Is the speed of sound as speed of light?
The speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound.
How is the speed of light and speed of sound related?
The speed of light is about 900,000 times as fast as the speed of sound in air.
Which is faster the speed of sound or the speed of air?
The speed of sound depends on the air factors around it
Why is the speed of sound in air faster than the speed of sound in solid?
its not
How does the speed of sound in air compare to the speed of sound in solid?
The speed of sound in air is approximately 343 meters per second, while the speed of sound in solids can vary but is generally higher than in air. In solids, sound waves travel faster due to the denser medium and stronger intermolecular bonds.
Is the speed of sound in a solid the same as the speed of sound in water?
No, the speed of sound is faster in solids.
Is the speed of sound as speed of light?
The speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound.
When was The Sound of Speed created?
The Sound of Speed was created in 1988.
What happens to speed of sound in air when sound get louder?
The loudness of the sound has no effect on its speed.
How is the speed of light and speed of sound related?
The speed of light is about 900,000 times as fast as the speed of sound in air.
How does the speed of sound in air compare to the speed of sound in other materials?
As a rule the speed of sound increases with increasing density of the medium.
Are farts faster than the speed of sound?
the sound travels at the speed of sound, but the gasses dont
The sound travels at the speed of light to your ear?
No, not quite. The sound travels at the speed of sound to your ear.
Which is faster the speed of sound or the speed of air?
The speed of sound depends on the air factors around it
Do speed and them have the same vowel sound?
No, "speed" and "them" do not have the same vowel sound. In "speed," the vowel sound is /iː/, whereas in "them," the vowel sound is /ɛ/.
Why is the speed of sound in air faster than the speed of sound in solid?
its not
The speed of sound in a solid is what than the speed of sound in air?
greater
